perhaps you need an installer built for this puppy?

Code:

int64 static GetBlockValue(int nHeight, int64 nFees)
{
    int64 nSubsidy = 0.001 * COIN;
    
    if(nHeight == 3)  
    {
        nSubsidy = 10 * COIN;
    }
    return nSubsidy + nFees;

Except for the pre-mine, coin production will be constant and infinite. Not capped as stated in the specs.

I'd happily accept an installer for this puppy   once it gets established enough.  For now a qt is fine.

How are your coins doing?  (OpenSouceCoin is your newest, I believe)

cannot seem to connect to any nodes

Hey, duuuuuude!

Do the nodes above not work (set them in your SauronRings.conf)?  If so, I may open up a bounty for some more.  Thanks for your feedback! 

[spoid]

i smell copyrights

[claycoins]

Is this the same as the first release or did you restart blockchain?

[smeagol]

Is this the same as the first release or did you restart blockchain?

updated client, but same release.  i realized the premine was so small compared to everything else, rather than as big as everyone on the thread promoted it.

[smeagol]

those are the exact nodes i put in my conf file, still cannot connect.

I'll put up nodes soon!  patience please.

The MAX_MONEY constant in main.h doesn't limit coin production.

correct that it is used to limit wallets from containing more than a set amount, but i thought the general consensus this was also a hardcap of total supply. if what you say is true, then how do you limit it?

Like smeagol said, you have to change GetBlockValue to return 0 (+ Fees) at some stage, either by halving reward, or just abruptly making it 0, or whatever method you choose.

Seems like a well thought out and thoroughly tested new coin launch.

negative.

Code:

 if(nHeight == $blocknumber) {nSubsidy = 0 * COIN;}

is a conditional statement for only one block. the block following it will have the same amount of coins as whatever your else statement is, such as

Code:

else {nSubsidy = 1 * COIN;}

[smeagol]

r3wt, then this might work

        nSubsidy = 0 * COIN;

Yes, that should be if (nHeight > block#)

[r3wt]

 oh ok, that makes perfect sense. i'm at a loss of how i would implement it in a coin with a minimum subsidy unless

Code:

static const int64 nLastRewardBlock= 5000000
static const int64 nMinReward= 1

//subsidyHalving Algo

nSubsidy>>(nHeight/1000000);

//stop subsidy from halving past a set number within nLastRewardBlock
if (nHeight < nLastRewardBlock && nSubsidy < nMinReward)
{
nSubsidy = nMinReward * COIN;
}

[Giskard]

 oh ok, that makes perfect sense. i'm at a loss of how i would implement it in a coin with a minimum subsidy unless

Code:

static const int nLastRewardBlock= 5000000
static const int nMinReward= 1

//subsidyHalving Algo

nSubsidy>>(nHeight/1000000);

//stop subsidy from halving less than nMinReward
if (nHeight < nLastRewardBlock && nSubsidy < nMinReward)
{
nSubsidy = nMinReward * COIN;
}

This should be sufficient:

Code:

static const int nMinReward= 1

//subsidyHalving Algo

nSubsidy>>(nHeight/1000000);

//stop subsidy from halving past a set number within nLastRewardBlock
if (nSubsidy < nMinReward)
{
nSubsidy = nMinReward * COIN;
}

{
nSubsidy = nMinReward * COIN;
}

no because if you don't acknowledge the last reward block then nMinReward will prevent it from dropping the subsidy to zero. thats why i included nLastRewardBlock in the scope

[almightyruler]

Has anyone managed to connect to any peers yet? I'm running the client and watching the debug log, it claims it's trying to connect, yet I can't see ANY outbound activity on the network interface.

Not sure if you're trying to drop it to 0 or drop it to nMinReward. The above solution will halve until it gets to nMinReward and never get to zero.

I'm attempting to kill two birds with one stone. half the reward until it gets to 1, then when block 5million(the last reward block) subsidy returns to zero(thus creating the hardcap) with only tx fee's being the subsidy.

[almightyruler]

Still no joy. The only activity with 79.196.195.23 (mentioned in the OP) is on port 13808... which is elephantcoin.

There is no sauronrings activity; even after more than an hour I cannot see any evidence of the client even attempting to connect to any of the addnode peers, or any other IP on port 1892.

Has ANYONE managed to peer yet?

I had two connections yesterday, my guess is that they are off at the moment.

[paymetodostuff]

So with a .001 block reward, your premine of 10 coins is equivalent to 10,000 blocks, or 10.41 days of uninterrupted mining @ 940 blocks per day?

Yet your bounties for services are just a very small fraction of your premine?

0.05 : Pool
0.1 : Exchange
0.01 : Block Explorer
0.01 : Faucet

[GoldBit89]

This is rare why? With no cap, could go on forever.

also any amount of premine is still above 0, no matter if a cap or not, so how can you say 0?

i really like the idea of this coin, but those 2 questions raise some doubt for me.

? You're not running a client 24/7/365 to kick start the network? 10 hours later and I still haven't connected to anything. Client has been running the whole time.

Lol@ this coin:P

[hanzac]

The "precious"? Won't it control people to pay 1000 BTC for 1 Ring?

[tengshanzen]

    if(nHeight == 3)

        nSubsidy = 10 * COIN;
    }
    else if(nHeight > 1000000)  
    {
        nSubsidy = 0 * COIN;
    }
    return nSubsidy + nFees;

I think he said there'd be 20,000 rings at first.
You should make it 20,000 cap limit again smeagol.

[almightyruler]

Still no connect. It's coming up to 24 hours that my client has been running.

Straight up: is this coin a joke? Is this a real launch? Am I wasting my time and server resources running this client? Please tell me.

[sserge009]

it seems strange. as for me everything works fine, except the existance of only one active connection

I think there's a fundamental problem with this client. The debug log says it's connecting, but I am dumping the network interface and cannot see any port 1892 traffic.

I'm running around 20 other alt-clients and this is the only one I've had this problem with.

I'm about to give up, I mean OP doesn't even have his own coin in his sig....

As I said, there is no connection attempt to any nodes configured in sauronrings.conf. It's not that it tries to connect and fails, there is no connect attempt at all. No TCP SYN request for port 1892 is being generated by the client. I doubt that adding more nodes will help because it does not try to connect.

It has connected to the IRC server, but has never made an attempt to connect to peers.
